§ Commander Purseyasked the Minister of Transport whether the Hull and Hornsea and the Hull and Withernsea lines are included in the list of railways serving seaside resorts which are proposed for closure and for which his consent, if given, will not take effect before 1st October.
§ Mr. MarplesThese two proposals were published some time ago. They will therefore be dealt with in accordance with the last part of my statement on 12th February in reply to the Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Antrim, North (Mr. H. Clark).
I can assure the hon. Member that I will bear in mind the possible effect of closure on holiday travel arrangements this summer before making my decisions.
